League PlayOffs/Tie Breakers

Last Revised on August 15, 2022

Individual Athletes Qualifications:

To qualify for CYM playoffs and championship events in all CYM sports, athletes on a team roster must:

• Be on the active roster of a CYM team
• Participate in a minimum of half of the regular season contests;  Track & Field and Cross Country: athletes must run in a minimum of 3 meets
• Be below the threshold for suspension for unsportsmanlike fouls

Exception: Injuries to athletes restricting their ability to participate in an athletic contest (must be approved by the CYM Director of Youth Sports)

 

Team Qualifications:

Each sport may have their own set of rules around teams that are eligible or ineligible for playoffs. These can be found in the sport-specific rules. Qualifications that apply to all sports are as follows:

• Less than two forfeits for lack of players or coaches
• No team suspensions due to ejections, ineligible players or actions by coaches, players, spectators

 

Playoffs Seeding/Tie-Breakers:

CYM will have playoffs for most Varsity sports. They will be single elimination bracket unless specified in the sport specific rules. Standings will be kept throughout the season. It is the head coach of the winning team’s responsibility to call, email or publish the score of their contests. Playoff seeding will be based off team records. Points may need to be awarded if certain teams are moving divisions for playoff purposes. Generally teams will be award 2-3 points per win at the higher division level and 1 point for a win at the lower division level.  Tie-breakers may be needed in the event of a tie in final record or final seeding. The order of tie-breakers will be as follows:

• Head to head match up
• Coin flip/hat draw
• In the event of a 3 or more way tie, we will first look at head to head to determine if any team won all contests against the others tied; otherwise we will draw from a hat
